A Comparison between Measured Values of Airborne Viable Particles and Theoretical Calculated Values with the Dilution Principle in Operating Rooms Equipped with Low Velocities Unidirectional Airflow Systems
Paper in proceeding, 2018
Many of the recently installed unidirectional air flow systems for operating rooms have low
velocities (≤ 0.3m/s). Measurements of airborne aerobic colony-forming units were performed in such operating rooms during on-going surgery. Results show that, during ongoing surgery, calculations with the dilution principle is valid in the surgical zone.
